AFTER months Of delay there does
seem some prospect Of relief being af-
forded the drOuth sufferers. The $780,
900 legislative appropriation has been
granted; commission, to enquire into
the condition of those for whom aid is
sought and devise the best means of ex-
tending it, is already on its errand of
mercy; the railroads will carry provi-
sions and relief stores free, and the be-
ginning of systematic measures of assist
aDce may be accepted as already begun.
This will be far better advertisement
for Texas than any amount of solicita-
ton for aid outside of the state possibly
could be.

WASHINGTON, March II. - Senator
Cockrell, of Missouri. said to-day, that it
was likely that he would call meeting one
day this week of the committee appointed
bY the last congress to investigate the re-
port upon the manner in which business is
conducted in the various departments.
Il shall not leave Washington for some
time" said the senator, land propose to
make the examination a most searching
one. Every branch of the public service
will be overnauled in a systematic manner,
and wherever there can be any looping off
OF useless employees, it will certainly be
recommended" Apropo of this investi-
cation, ii is stated that the senator from
Missouri Is not hunting victims with a
brass band, but is pursuing tactics peculiar
10 himself. Provided with notebook and
pencil, he makes it point to viss depart
ment and converse with the watcS$>nen
laborerS. messengers and clerks, whom he
may meet in secluded corridors. He does
not take the trouble TO inform those with
whom he converses that he has mission, or
that he is senator, but, nevertheless, he
subjects his Informant TO most rigid course
OF inquiry. Subsequently he jots down
the result i'll his notebook, and thus he will
be enabled TO obtained most comprehen-
slve and practical knowledge of the matter
under consideration.

he has experienced a decided change of
heart Talking on the subject recently to
your correspondent. Gen. Hazen said:
EGThe conviction is being forced upon us in
Pennsylvania that we will have to select
some other standard bearer IN 1883 than the
Plu med Knight. From the best information
obtainable it looks as though Senator Sher-
man, of Ohio, is the coming man, and partic-
ularly on account of his strength in New
York, which is the key TO the presidential Sit
uation. Besides, 1t is Il historical fact that a
defeated candidate for the presidency in the
last half century has not been renominated by
his party, and no one appreciates this more
than Mr.. Blaine. Every day Sherman is in
creasing in popularity, and when the nOm1-
mating convention meets in 1888 it need not
surprise any one to see him the unanimous
choice Of the Republican delegates.
Representative Melliken, Of Maine. on the
other hand. does not think the Ohio states
man is going to have such plain sailing be-
fore the convention. According to his idea,
Sherman can't get the nomination. If Mr..
Blaine goes before the convention he will
be nominated by such vote as will mean
something.
Blaine, he adds, can have it if he wants It.
Should he be out of the way, | would say that
Allison would be the next man. | think
Allison will be nominated if Blaine is not He
would make good run. He is all right on
finance. There is no trouble about that.

FROM LIFE TO DEATH

Is but moment if rheumatism or neuralgia
strikes the heart. These diseases are the
most painful and the most dangerous of any
to which humankind is liable. They fly from
one part to another without a moments
warning, and lniments and other outward
applications are in themselves dangerous,
because they are liable to drive the disease
to some vital organ and cause instant death.
rheumatism and neuralgia are diseases of
the blood, and can only be reached by q
remedy which will drive from the blood the
dangerous acids. Such a remedy is Athlo-
Dhoros. 1t has been thoroughly tested and
is a safe, sure cure.
George Schneider, employed at the sash
factory of Huttig Bros Manufacturing
company, Muscatine, Ia, says: About a
wear ago my wife was afflicted with both
rheumatism and neuralgia. She had used
numerous remedies with no apparent relief.
Having learned of some of the cures eff
fected by AthlophOros, l bought some for
her. | think it was four or five bottles she
used. since which time she has been en-
tirelv well of both rheumatism and neural
gla. AS she was a very great sufferer, [
consider Athlophoros very efficient rem
edy in curing such case"
w. C. McClain. clerk for Smith & Bone
steel. druggists, Atlantic, Ia, says: Il
have tried everything l know of for my
rheumatism. but nothing did me any good
until | used Athlophoros. 1t was in July,
